As COVID-19 rages to its highest level in more than a dozen states, it is still killing as many as 1,000 Americans every single day. This isn’t going to stop until we have a vaccine.
A COVID-19 vaccine would save tens of thousands of American lives and help rescue the economy, but the Trump administration’s Operation Warp Speed plan is underfunded and inadequate. Yes, we need to move at warp speed for a vaccine that gets people healthy and back to work. But Trump’s plan leaves out the key steps the nation must take to pave the way for a COVID-19 vaccine without risking the outbreak of other diseases. If we don’t match this unprecedented pandemic with an equally unprecedented but methodical response, the virus will outrun our efforts.
As we race to find a vaccine, Americans need to know that our current vaccine production infrastructure is already strained and that building new infrastructure is both expensive and complicated. It costs anywhere from $50 to $700 million to build a new facility and takes years to complete. Existing production facilities are highly specialized for making a single, specific type of vaccine, like polio or measles, and they are currently reserved to make those vaccines. If those facilities are repurposed to make a new COVID-19 vaccine, it will put the supply of other critical vaccines at risk.

ReplyDeleteGreat time to have a campaign rally! ENjoy it MAGA crowd and remember masks violate the constitution so be sure to breathe on each other as much as possible
ReplyDelete901 youre not kidding though..
ReplyDeleteGet a clue:
ReplyDeleteThe vaccine will be the kill shot
There has NEVER been a vaccine produced for any other Corona Virus that worked.
ReplyDeleteEducate yourself!
The Flu vaccine every year is at BEST %50 effective.
Get on with life or cower in your house forever.
Science takes time regardless how we define warp speed or how many people die. Time cannot be rushed - which pisses everyone off.
ReplyDeleteCorrect me if I'm wrong (please), but isn't the common cold caused by a corona virus? We still don't have a vaccine that will keep us from catching a cold. Are we going to hunker down in fear forever when 70% percent of the people who "catch" CoVid19 don't even know they have it?
ReplyDeleteAnyone even considering accepting this 'vaccine' should at least check this out first: www.corbettreport.com/gates
ReplyDeleteNO Masks, NO Distancing, NO VAX...period!!! You are being manipulated, lied to and brainwashed by the Media...Wake Up Now!!!
ReplyDelete223: Ditto. Unfortunately I don't see it happening, at least not soon enough, & even most who think they're awake are still daydreaming. Until ppl get off the party train (R vs L) & realize who's really runnin the show they're gonna keep gettin duped. Check out the latest from the World Economic Forum. Browse the UN's website. Read the Rockefeller Foundation's Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development (written in 2010!!!). They TELL us their plans! But ppl don't wanna do their own research, they wanna be spoon fed BS propaganda from the mainstream & led like sheep to the slaughter. It's utterly unbelievable & sad
ReplyDeleteCongress better Pass another STIMULUS Bill in WARP SPEED !!!!
ReplyDeleteFor us Working Class people !!!!
